Wife, daughter and I set out from Shilshole around 5PM and headed to Jeff Head to fish the tide (high tide around 7pm), lines in the water around 5:45. Trolled with the tide from presidents point down to the southeast corner of Jeff Head staying in the 100-170 feet of water band, then worked that area during the slack and headed back North as the tide began to fall. Picked up a 29 inch hatchery chinook at 160 on the wire in 165 feet of water around 7:20. I was trolling 2mph over the ground, fishing a white coho killer 42 inches behind a red racer flasher and a 16lb ball. Continued to fish until 8:30, then headed home. This was the only fish for around 3 hours fishing... not a single shaker, dogfish, rockfish etc which is notable because I've been picking those up like crazy in my last few chinook outings.
Great evening on the water!

by the way, the chinook's belly had mostly 2 inch candlefish and one very digested herring in the 5 inch range.

You got the prize! Nicely done. (-:

And... your wife and daughter did 3 hours in the boat with no shakers, no dogfish, 3 hours of dad conversation!
I’d say they did pretty good too.

Seriously though, what a great thing to get a beautiful evening in with everyone, and you get an awesome fish.
Thanks for the report.

They are troopers for sure, and very tolerant of my hobbies! Helps that my little boat has a "bow rider" section where they can enjoy their day on the water, read their books etc but they are always on the spot to steer while I reset gear, wield the net when its time to land something and so forth.
